Horoscope for Monday, Jan. 19, 2019

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big purchases from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today is full of surprises. For starters, you feel restless, excitable and possibly rebellious. Who knows what’s going to happen next? Meanwhile, your Spidey sense is very tuned in to parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Maybe you do know what’s going to happen next!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because your idealism is aroused today, you might surprise yourself by impulsively doing something. You might follow your intuitions, whims or desires because you want to visit someplace beautiful or talk to someone who inspires you. (Sounds kinda exciting!)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A friend, perhaps a female, might do something that catches you off guard today. It might be stimulating or it might stop you in your tracks. Perhaps new information will inspire you to be generous to others or help you do fundraising or make your mark?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully because bosses, parents and VIPs might suddenly overreact or do something you least expect. Stay light on your feet so that you can jump in either direction. Meanwhile, a heart-to-heart talk with a friend or partner might be meaningful for you today. (Gosh.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Travel plans might change today. They might be canceled, delayed or suddenly introduced into your schedule! Yes, it’s a crapshoot. Meanwhile, someone at work might need your counsel or sympathetic ear, or perhaps you are the one who needs the sympathetic ear of someone else?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Double check banking details and anything to do with inheritances and insurance because something unusual might impact these areas. Stay on top of things. Meanwhile, this can be a creative day for you if you work in the arts. Romance will be pie-in-the-sky romantic!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A partner or close friend might overreact today or do something that catches you off guard. (Whaaat?) Family discussions will be mutually sympathetic and supportive, which is a good thing. Be open to what others say and listen with sincerity because you’ll be glad you did.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Something unpredictable might impact your job today — computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages, equipment breakdowns, something unexpected. Fortunately, you are very tuned in today and can pick up on the vibes of others and quickly see what people want. (This is helpful.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Social plans might change. An unexpected invite might come your way. On the other hand, a fun event might be canceled. If shopping today, don’t go overboard on luxurious elegance, because you will be tempted!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Something might disturb your family routine today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. A domestic spat, especially with a female relative, might happen. Fortunately, you are dialed in and ready to deal with anything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a mildly accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. You might also be distracted because you have some way-out ideas today. You are thinking outside of the box and living in a parallel universe so to speak.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Keep an eye on your money so that you don’t lose cash or damage anything that you own. Meanwhile, an exchange with a friend or a member of a group will be heartwarming. You feel that there is a mutual understanding and a warm appreciation of what is going on, which is bonding and reassuring.

If Your Birthday Is Today
